Defrost Thermistor (Sensor)
This sensor monitors the temperature of the evaporator coils to signal the control board when to terminate the defrost cycle. If the thermistor shifts in resistance, it may signal that the coils are colder than they actually are or fail to signal a defrost need at all, leading to a massive frost buildup that chokes airflow. Replacing this is the primary corrective action for a physical 'freeze up' of the internal components.

Evaporator Cover Assembly
This assembly contains the circulation fan and the thermal insulation for the rear wall. In many Samsung units, moisture enters through the seals or the drain hole freezes over, causing ice to build up inside the cover until the fan blades strike the ice and fail. This assembly includes updated gaskets and a new fan motor to restore convective heat transfer.

Refrigerant Step Valve
The step valve controls the flow of refrigerant between the refrigerator and freezer evaporators. Forensic data for the RF27T series indicates these valves can become mechanically stuck or fail to actuate, causing one evaporator to receive continuous refrigerant (leading to a freeze-up) while the other receives none (leading to a 'not cooling' symptom).
